Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter to Hon. Charles Sumner, of the United States Senate: Exposing the Bullock-Blodgett Ring in Their Attempt to Defeat the Bingham Amendment Dear Sir - Permit me to address you upon a subject of great importance to the colored people of Georgia to the Republican party of that State, and, in my judgment, to the Republican party of the nation. As I address you upon a subject of such vast importance, you will permit me to allude to my anti-slavery and Republican record, to show that I have a right to speak upon that subject. I am a native of the State of Maine; my father was an anti-slavery man; and from my earliest boyhood I sympathized with his views. At school I was known as an earnest advocate of the anti-slavery cause, and an outspoken friend of the negro. At a time when it was very unpopular to do so, I demanded that young Burns, a negro boy from Liberia, a schoolmate of mine, who was being educated at Kent´s Hill, Maine, should have the same rights that white students had, and, through my instrumentality, he was elected a member of the literary society of that school. I threw my first vote for John C. Fremont, for President, in 1856. I entered the army at the commencement of the war as captain in the 8th Maine infantry, and served three years. I went with the expedition that captured the Port Royal islands in South Carolina. I was, I believe, the first officer of a white regiment who tendered his services to General Rufus Saxton to assist in organizing the colored regiments raised by him in South Carolina, and I served seventeen months on his staff.
